The Language of Birds

This animated video explores how and why birds communicate using sound and gives tips for becoming a better listener.

I have noticed that when I sometimes feed my birds they sometimes seem like they have actual language abilities. Example, when a bluejay ran off one of the female cardinals from the bird feeder by sqwaking at her as he landed on it, she in turn flew to her mate chirping loudly and he started doing the same. It was almost as if she was telling him what happened and he was responding by getting angry about it. Then they both flew to the feeder and ran the bluejay off while chirping like crazy. Have you ever noticed behavior like that before in your studies of birds.

+Amber Foster It runs deep, so deep Indians are still living in the woods by listening to the bird and animal sounds around them to stay undetected... birdlanguage.com/

Yeah, recently it's been found birds actually do have a language. I know that some parrots/parakeets even have names for each other. Their language isn't the same as ours, I'm not sure if their brains could ever fully understand our language, but theirs is simple enough that we can understand theirs.

If you connect these with phonics there's a connection in the language between use with meaning. Idk it yet but I'm learning it. Dylan saccoccio. But you don't need to see the birds but listen to the sounds

[@alexapenn6399]

guys, you always make such great vids and everything else, but this is awful. . . if it went any slower i think my life would pass by without getting to the end. the info is great, but even kids in kindergarten would fall asleep. how dumb do you think people are (for the most part)? also, the pictures are not great and it would be better to have the real thing. a real photo of the bird would also be sort of handy. the bird sounds are fine and the diagram of the larynx is fantastic - never knew this. but overall, i must say - just yuck! thanks though for all your other stuff - you are the bestest!! :}

[@m.e.4461]

alexa penn you could say it without being rude. I wouldn't make such a comment even if I was paying them to make the videos.

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. If you have any questions let me know x

[@sal_strazzullo]

Hello, I believe in the first part of what you said, but as a Muslim convert who has accepted the Quran as an authentic Revelation from God, I don't believe that "Jesus died on the cross for us" and I believe that God is the Most Merciful and the Forgiver and He forgives us our sins when we are sincerely repented. Apart from that, we are brother and sister and I pray God will have mercy on you on Judgement day
